When you acquire players you don't need, you form discontentment. When you form discontentment, you're forced to trade your best assets.

      Its worse because Cleveland offered Kyrie Irving to the Suns for Eric Bledsoe and Josh Jackson. They said no, because they genuinely thought Josh Jackson was the next Kawhi Leonard. This is where it gets worse, Eric Bledsoe already wanted out, and Cleveland gift wrapped them Kyrie, they ended up getting Greg Monroe, who was bought out within two months. And now this offseason, they traded Josh Jackson for Jevon Carter. The difference was Kyrie vs. 2 months of Greg Monroe and Jevon Carter. Crazy

    1. Trading away Joe Johnson doomed their title chances with Nash/Stoudemire/Marion core.
    2. Mike D’Antoni was not a great coach, he was a good coach who had glaring holes, mainly, inability to make in game adjustments or motivate his players in high pressure situations, ie playoffs.

      D'antoni's teams are always fun to watch, but they don't have the defense, the big men or the half court offense to win a championship. He's too caught up on small ball to be able to truly lock horns with teams like the Spurs or the Warriors.

    As a Phoenix native..... it has been a painful decade. And there is no light at the end of the tunnel yet because they are such a bad destination for players now that signing talent in free agency is a pipe dream and whatever talent they acquire by force (trade + draft) is desperately trying to leave. Plus, they are terrible at both trading and drafting so they only get talent by pure luck (like Booker) and don't know how to build a team with compatibility.
    It is going to take a miracle to get back to the playoffs, let alone chip contention.

    I honestly thought everything is going through pieces for the Suns back in 2013-14 but the bad decisions they made completely still haunt them up to this day. I'm not a fan of the team but this is not the Suns I know growing up.

      I'd say not re-signing Joe Johnson .. they had no closure or player to close out those close games in the clutch during Mike D'Antoni's tenure as the suns coach, Stat, Nash nor Marion didn't fit that role, with the exception of Johnson who was an iso player but capable of fulfilling that role

      Before they traded for Shaq in 2008, they were number 1 in the West, then they slid down to 4 or 5 and gave way to the Lakers to take over as the number 1 team that year.

    I think the Suns problems began in the 2007 draft lottery. If they had gotten the second instead of the third pick then Phoenix, not Atlanta, has the chance to draft Kevin Durant, Al Horford or Joakim Noah. Any of those guys could have been excellent compliments, even as rookies, to those Suns teams that already had some great pieces. Imagine a young Kevin Durant playing with Steve Nash? That would have been insane.

    It's funny cause the other video is about how bucks are the BEST team in the NBA. Suns just needed a little bit of time and TLC. The true fans knew once we got Ayton we would be a player in the west again and the fact that he is GOOD and then CP3 saw the talent and gave us the point guard we've been needing for almost 5 years it was bound to happen. I remember going to a game in 2018 vs the spurs they were down 50 at the half and everyone left after Alice Cooper did the halftime show. Now we are going to win the chip 3 years later. I do miss the $6 nosebleed seats and moving to the lower level at the half. Let's go Suns!
